Dollhouse Videos

Being obsessed with my current VHS project at the mo, I was fascinated by these miniaturized dolls-house horror videos available on Ebay via Small Side Miniatures. I haven't bought any but they look stunning! I've no idea how they do it!

Do you like them?

Here's a tiny ALIEN!

Captain's Captain Scarlet Cup

 During a clearout of Captain Grandson's room at home, before it's redesigned, Now he's older, I claimed this old neat plastic Pizza Hut cup we got him about five years ago.

When Pizza Hut was king in the UK this is part of their 1990's Captain Scarlet cup range, this one sports the SPV.

I have a feeling there's a small Captain Scarlet missing from the slide-out chair.

Do you have any of this range readers? 

The Company of Wolves: It's Mysterious My Weekly

 I adore the fantastical magic of The Company of Wolves. Based on Angela Carter's short story, it's a film I just love and is up there with The Fearless Vampire Killers as a rare but rewarding treat.

Seeing it again this week I noticed some publications in the bedroom set, one particularly mysterious, as I simply cannot find another example!

This mystery is the magazine on the bed. It's visible on the film poster and in the film itself you can see it's a A My Weekly with the words The Shattered Dream on the bottom. The picture looks like the girl in the film. It could well be a made up prop. What do you think readers? 

Less of a mystery are two more publications in the heroine's bedroom. I can see the Take of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle but what's the other one? 

Where Have All The TV Dinners Gone ?

Hi Woodsy

Here is one for your Food Files. 

When did manufacturers and retailers stop using the term 'TV Dinner' for a pre-cooked, frozen meal that you just heated up in the oven ? 

I do not think I have seen or heard 'TV Dinner' in decades. In the olden days they came in metal trays for heating in a real oven, not plastic trays designed for microwaves.

Remember them readers?

A 'TV dinner' ( roast chicken microwave meal) I had last year from the shop Iceland.
